The Venera 9 and 10 space probes were equipped with descent vehicles which transmitted data back to the stations while descending through the atmosphere of Venus and also while on the surface of the planet. A brief description of the configuration and equipment of these descent vehicles is given. The main phases of the descent are described. The vehicles measured temperature and pressure of the Venusian atmosphere from an altitude of 63 km to soft landing. Temperature profiles on the day side at solar elevations of 56.6 and 62.3 deg are given. Continuous measurement of axial overload during descent enabled a density profile to be obtained.
